Well, I am now more impressed with my HL Tigers! I took them to a family reunion yesterday - plenty of kids to take turns driving (grown up as well 6 to 9 year olds). Both tanks got a terrific workout at the hands of many. Including two dogs intent on killing them, a small red headed girl intent on smashing one of them and very steep hills with tree branches, wood chips, oyster shells and various unidentifiable obstacles all over the place! After one hour, the Tiger SS and non-ss were garaged in the back of my SUV and later at home I examined them closely. The only damage found was the main coppula hatch handle was ben flat on the SS tiger. Both tanks still had battery power left and one track was derailed. 15 minutes later all repairs were made. (of course, I had shut off the airsoft feature for obvious reasons). They are tougher than I thought!
Fun was had by all - now a couple of dads are interested in RC tanks!
